Many men have crossed my way Promising peace and my soul to save But I've already heard it all I've seen what they made with their freedom But I, I have no need for your god The shallow truth of your poisonous tongue Brothers, it's time to make a stand To reclaim our lives Because only steel can set us free Rise my brothers, we are blessed by steel In my sword I trust! Arm yourselves, the truth shall be revealed In my sword I trust! Tyrants and cowards for metal you will kneel In my sword I trust 'Til justice and reason will wield In my sword I trust The sword that shimmers in my hand, Do you have the mind to eat the guilty flesh? To drink the blood of those who are to blame? The time of change is here, unveil your blade! Rise my brothers we are blessed by steel In my sword I trust Arm yourselves the truth shall be revealed In my sword I trust Tyrants and cowards for metal you will kneel In my sword I trust 'Til justice and reason will wield In my sword I trust Cling your souls to your gods Kneel, obey, follow their laws Deceit, subjugate, cherish their greed Disdain verity, glorify futile faith O Old Man, Bring me a fiery fur coat Put on me a blazing shirt Shielded by which I may make war Lest my head should come to grief And my locks should go to waste In the sport of bright iron Upon the point of harsh steel [Kalevala] Rise my brothers we are blessed by steel In my sword I trust Arm yourselves the truth shall be revealed In my sword I trust Tyrants and cowards for metal you will kneel In my sword I trust 'Til justice and reason will wield In my sword I trust In my sword I trust

Forgotten tomb hill Unnamed graves No light can reach there Memories fade away Only frozen soil And eternal wind Remember the sacrifice Of those who are now buried in time A Dauntless heart A Righteous mind No sign of fear Cast aside Left to die Just one frozen tear Unsung heroes Forgotten valour Unknown soldiers Entombed in time Only shadows grow Where the forsaken lie Hope buried in snow A thousand scars Regret none But only the dead ones have seen the end of war

Passing aeons Everlasting fight against the Evil Their army grows on and on With the darkening horizon I'm not afraid, let them come I will never retreat I will stand and hold my ground Protect the Ancient Tree The defence is doomed to fall With the world I used to know Burning leaves Turn to ash before my eyes Crushed my dreams Long gone Burning leaves Dead branches reach to the sky The flame within me Is gone On the light of the last dying star Serpents crawl closer All five branches, cursed from the start And roots are torn to pieces Right before my dying breath I lay my eyes to the sky As an eagle spreads its wings for the last time Leaving me, the oak, the grove, to die Liekö enää päällä maan ainuttakaan joka muistaa Lehdon tuon kauniin kaukaisen, jonne vie tie jokainen Kun kuolee vartija viimeinen, keskellä liekkien ikuinen puu ja maailma ihmisten Niin loppuu aikamme I wonder if any longer someone walks the Earth who recalls That fair Grove afar, where all paths meet As the last of the guardians falls, ablaze the Eternal Tree and Domain of Man Thus ends Our Time

A long time ago I went to the shore I whispered my wish to a breeze from the North The wind took the wish high to the stars Told them what I've missed with all my heart I was mesmerized by the rolling tide I lay on that shore and fazed into the skies Like a shooting star, my dream was gone I made up my mind I don't want to wake up When will time heal and fulfil the dream of my heart? When will we unite as one and light our own star? All these memories I will treasure in my heart Words are so vain A bond beyond quintessence For a thousand lifetimes I will wait to feel A passing moment of bliss To be embraced by silence

No sun rises today No moon shares it's light Eclipse of soul Growing breach of faith Pierced by bitter deception Chained to the darkness Left to rot with hate I can't escape from this living hell But in my dreams the justice dwells Betrayers are torn apart And my hate will fade away with their blood My hate runs deep In the waters of grudge and unforgiveness Leniency is for the weak I'd rather die than show you mercy Slaughter is yet to come Retribution shall be mine! Oh Gods of vengeance, fill my heart! This is mine The one and final fight I choose not to die With these demons by my side

The traveller's heart is meant to be free No obligations and soul redeemed I knew that part wasn't for me When I met my star queen Born in the stars, like all of us But can two paths start from one? Unite again somewhere in time And light the brightest star in the endless sky Oh Queen of Stars How long until dreams are fulfilled? Years go by I thought I could forget I lived in a lie, that's all I regret It's better for a man to die by the sword Than wither away with undying love I wish that the wind will play with her hair Touch her lips, tell I'll be there Longing for the moment for eternity Light of a thousand stars will always confront me

Luonto ponteva Pohjannaan! Milloin taas hänen nänhdä saan? Milloin saanenkaan kesä-yöllä Nähdä kirkkaalla sädevyöllä Ympäröityä taivoaan? Milloin laineilta Pohjan vetten Nähdä hohtehen, nähdä ett'en Lansna unta ma nähnyt vaan? – Milloin Pohjolan nähdä saan? Onhan nytkin sen tunturit Jylhät, korkeat, kaunihit; Vielä kaiketi kosket kuohuu; Totta vieläkin virrat vuoltuu Syvin uurtehin halki maan? Eikö merikin yhä vielä Huhdo rannikkoamme siellä? Myrskyn virtt' eikö kuulukkaan? – Milloin, milloin sen nähdä saan? Talvismaailman mahti uus', Lumitannerten ihannus, Mustat metsät ja synkät salot, Revontulien tummat palot, Nekin luontoa Phojanmaan. Eikö kaikk' ole kannallansa? Tokko mainio Pohjan kansa Viel' on vanhassa viomassaan? – Milloin Pohjolan nähdä saan? Kansa vankka, mi muinaisin Seisoi miehuuden mittehin, Vaarat hiihteli, kynti merta, Tokko nytkin on vanhallaan? Tooko voinee se sodan tiellä Altiiks henkensä antaa vielä Estä armahan isänmaan? – Milloin, milloin sen nähdä saan? Pohjola, minun maa Pohjaton, kaipuuni Pohjannaula, mua johdata

Lying on the ground As battle rages on Warm blood covers The cold land of our fathers Don't cry for me my son Because I'm not the only one Where I go you can't follow This journey I will make all alone I've bled so many times for this land But this wound will claim my life Death commands me to give my hand Let not my people Live under oppression And remember the darker the night The more beautiful is the morning's light Fear no more Just let go Adore this world Once more The truth unfolds In the Ancient Halls Fear no more Just let go There is no shimmer of the light In this pouring rain I close my eyes Has it all been in vain?

Where to find the truth? Questions linger through time Unbreakable will and inquiring mind Have always been the seeker's guide The Reason as my sword The Knowledge as my shield I'll face my foes again and again On the ancient battlefield I can't deny what I've seen So towards the great unknown I must keep going on Stop your quest Or with fire you'll be cleansed Confess... Death... Woe to the faith Through dark centuries The wait for the time When all is revealed Unbreakable Stands through time Dwells the proof of life Eternal Earth of mine Cleanse our souls No good thoughts shall burn Engulf the passion of life Eternal Fire of mine Carry it on The ancient wisdom of mankind Eternal Air of mine Renew us within Wash away The remains of lies Eternal Water of mine Indivisible Beyond death and life The answer divine Eternal Elements of mine The gatekeeper of the knowledge The One who was trusted the secrets of time and space once said: To know is your destination To find is your possibility And to search is your quest. Your path has merged with the truth. But yet you refuse to see it It's easier to be afraid, to be deceived, to be a sheep Be aware, question them, question yourself Because once you see it, you can never look away Every man's Horizon can change But eternal skies Will always stay the same Like a new sun arises from winter's cold and dark grave, it's unstoppable. Keep your twisted beliefs Sons and Daughters of Dawn are calling me The fire that burns my flesh Shall light up the words I've said The curse on my innocent name Shall put all of your in shame Woe to the man Who disheartens the few Who reach for the light Who searches for the truth I only have just one more wish That this torch will be passed onto someone sentient like you When your time comes, don't lose your heart Have faith and patience and trust in the flame before passing it onto someone new The greatest power of all Will force their gods to fall The greatest power of all Embrace, illuminate all! I am, you are, no one's slave No man or god they have made
